Hebrews 1:4-14
World English Bible
4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time,
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your father?”
and again,
“I will be to him a Father,
and he will be to me a Son?”
6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
“He makes his angels winds,
and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 And,
“You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.
The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you continue.
They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 You will roll them up like a mantle,
and they will be changed;
but you are the same.
Your years won’t fail.”
13 But which of the angels has he told at any time,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Hebrews 1:4-14
English Standard Version
4 having become as much superior to angels as the name (A)he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
(B)“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”?
Or again,
(C)“I will be to him a father,
and he shall be to me a son”?
6 And again, when he brings (D)the firstborn into the world, he says,
(E)“Let all God's angels worship him.”
7 Of the angels he says,
(F)“He makes his angels winds,
and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he says,
(G)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, (H)has anointed you
with (I)the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
10 And,
(J)“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are (K)the same,
and your years will have no end.”
13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,
14 Are they not all ministering spirits (N)sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to (O)inherit salvation?
